WB 12th Exam 2026: WBCHSE Clarifies Question Pattern For Semester 4 HS Exams
The West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE) has issued a clarification regarding the question pattern for Semester 4 of the upcoming Higher Secondary (HS) examinations. This clarification, detailed in an official notification dated October 3, 2025, follows prior communications from the Council about the format and structure of the exams.
The Council explained that the number of questions to be answered from each topic or unit in the question paper would follow a specific formula: 2x, where ‘x' represents the number of questions to be attempted from a particular unit or topic. Additionally, alternatives would be provided for each type of question, with the alternatives coming from the same topic or unit.
The Council emphasised that this 2x formula would apply to most subjects, with a few exceptions deviating from the pattern. To avoid any confusion regarding the exam structure, the Council also plans to release subject-wise question patterns alongside this clarification.
“Please note that the 2x formulae has been followed in almost all cases in regard to providing of alternatives in the Question paper, where x is the number of questions to be attempted from a certain unit or topic. Alternatives will be provided from the same topic/unit other than exceptional cases," states the official notice.
In mid-April, the WBCHSE announced the implementation of the semester system for classes 11 and 12 in state-run and state-aided schools. The new system divides the higher secondary or 10+2 course into four parts: semesters 1, 2, 3, and 4.
As per the notice, class 11 is split into semesters 1 and 2, while class 12 is divided into semesters 3 and 4. The exams for the third semester were conducted from September 8 to 22, and the fourth-semester exams are scheduled to be held from February 12 to 27 next year.
Meanwhile, the WBCHSE first semester board exams will be declared by October 31, Council President Chiranjib Bhattacharya had said earlier. The second-semester exams are scheduled for February 2025, and the final results will be based on the combined performance across both semesters, which will decide the grades and ranking of candidates.
